Are You Experiencing Homelessness? Need Help?

Call 2-1-1 anytime to access assistance in Kent County. A representative will connect you to the local intake process. If you live in another nearby county, you can still call 2-1-1 for information on how to find your local resources.

Keep your important documents safe (like birth certificates, photo IDs, proofs of income like pay stubs). When you get housing, you’ll need documents like identification and it can be faster if you don’t have to request them new.

If you don’t have the above items but are homeless, you can still call. Our housing system does not require people to have income or other requirements before you can get help.

Keep track of who you contact for help. You may have to “verify homelessness” by having professionals who can vouch that you were experiencing homelessness.

Unfortunately, our available housing resources are limited and we cannot always help everyone right away. Reach out to us for help, but also talk to friends, family, or other supports you may have to explore your options for help.

If you are looking for affordable housing you can visit www.michiganhousinglocator.com which is a resource that is free to everyone and lists available rentals in the state.
